Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Litigation covers how cases develop and are consolidated for pretrial discovery in multidistrict litigation (MDL). It includes a detailed discussion of the strategies and techniques of litigating a major drug or medical device case. You'll find sophisticated endgame strategies, as well as discussions on:

• Federal preemption issues

• The state of class actions after the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005

The author uses pretrial orders from the Baycol and Vioxx MDL cases to illustrate motion practice.
